fox river trolley museum

We went here for my son's 5th birthday! He LOVED it. You can tour old trolleys. The trolley ride is really fun also. You take a short ride to the forest preserve where you can get off and walk a bit. We are thinking of bringing a picnic next time. You can always take the next trolley back. So much fun! A must see!

This is a great museum for the trolley fan. They offer a short 30 minute trolley ride to the forest preserve and have many displays in the rail yard. They have the oldest operating Interurban trolley in the US ( CHICAGO, AURORA & ELGIN #20). This is a cool place and we will probably come back again.

This museum provides an opportunity to experience World War II in both the German and American camps during a special event each year. You can even experience a baseball game played by the women of the AAWBBL.

the Fox River Trolley Museum has a bunch of restored railroad cars that you are able to view and explore. They also offer a short train ride to the local forest preserve and back in some restored passenger cars...not adventure packed nor thilling, but a very plesant and relaxing way to spend a sunday afternoon with your young children or older family members...have taken the ride a few times to let other family members from out of town enjoy it...well worth the time
